Survivor

Loss

Gweithiril was beyond shocked was she watched Theoar swiftly vanished from her view. could not even scream out her pain as she fell for the rushing wind would take them . while sound of rushing water grew louder the closer she got. Suddenly she was enveloped in the freezing cold and tainted waters of the mountain rapids.

The impact stunned her. It felt as if all the warmth that her body had was sucked away in the reddish black tint of the fast-moving Waters.

The water itself was tainted from the bloody battle up in the mountain but it tasted far worse. The bitter iron taste of blood of the ones that were slain during the battle of the previous night made her feel like she was about to be sick something she could not afford to be or else she would drown.

She could still hear the screaming and howling of the night as if she were still amongst the fighting a sight and sound she never would for get as long as she lived.

Moments went by as her head bust from the blackish red water allowing her gain her breath before once more being pulled under and pushed along the rocky bottom then once more popping back up for another much needed breath. She tried her best to pull her mind away from such dark places of her mind but will little luck as the icy water made her limbs feel numb and heavy while at the same time making her agitated wounds feel cool.

... ... ... ... ...

At this very moment all Gweithiril wanted to do was curl up and cry for the loss of her Village, her friends, and her Ada. She just hoped that her mother and sister escaped with the few surviving villagers that had fled before the battle so that she could reunite with them. She also know that the survivors that fled would probably say she had died to make sure that they lived. She would only return to them only after she avenged her father and slain his murderer only then would she be able to return.
Gweithiril was so deep in her own thoughts that were harshly ripped away when her back was slammed into a large Boulder breaking off two of the three arrows that were embedded in her back before being spun around by the quick moving Waters having the two arrows in her arm ripped out when they somehow after they had gotten wedged between some stones. where she was pulled once more under the fast-moving rapids only giving her enough time to take a breath before vanishing under once more. The moment the arrows were ripped out of her arm all she could do was scream for the pain was immense not even the icy water could numb that pain.

Sadly the moment she scream she inhaled water instead of the precious air she needed so doing the only thing she could think of was to close her mouth to preserve the last little bit of oxygen she had in her lungs, kicking out as hard as she could with her legs trying to break the surface of the water and hopes of reclaiming the Lost breath that had been taken from her when the arrows were ripped out though she could still feel the intact arrows getting brushed by debris under the water. When she finally burst through she also gained mouthfuls of the bitter iron water. In that particular moment the only thing she could feel was a pain radiating through out her body from the arrows being broken or ripped out while her ribs screamed in pain from hitting some of the rock sticking out of the water moments ago. Other than the pain she could feel the numbness of the cold Waters slowly creeping its way deeper into her bones she know that in she stayed in the water longer she could freeze to death. What eventually felt like forever in her pain filled mind slowly cleared enough to her to realize that the waters of the rapid has slowed apparently it come out to a lazy river pulling herself above the water once more she looked about winterize landed on the Sandy shore of the riverbank.

Knowing the tedious task of getting her battle ridden body onto dry land she began to swim to the best of her abilities. Though her was sore and tired she knew that if she did not reach land she would possibly drown before nightfall came for she was tired and in pain. It felt like an eternity as she struggled to swim towards the land when in truth it had been a slow painstakingly ten minutes. It just felt like everything she did at this moment was longer than it really was until she began to feel the branches and twigs of fallen trees embedded in the mud under the water so during the most logical thing she used her good arm and begin to use the trees to pull herself towards the River Bank. It wasn't long tell her chest plate scraped against the Sandy Bank in the shallow waters of the river.
